Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Matthew 5:43-44
YOU ORDERED THE STEAK?
Orite Brothers and Sisters , I have told you why I am doing this ...
I have given you information regarding both Jesus and Satan...
I have expressed my views on certain church folk...
I have given you the information on how to accept Christ...
Now that the formal introductions are over , We gon start unwrapping the mummy...
ALL OF US are wrapped like mummies to a certain degree.
Some of us are wrapped up in drama , Some in Fear , Some in Hate , Some in depression , Some in anger, Some in bitterness , Some in racism , etc... Everyone of us are wrapped up in something.
a couple years ago , My mother in law prayed over my wife and I...She spoke a Prophecy over us both.
and the word has been manifesting ever since...I was told GOD saw I was a patient man and my time was coming , He was preparing the heart of the one who would help me and in the meantime , He had to chisel the rock...
When he broke out the chisel , I started having to face myself and answer the tough questions HONESTLY...I had to admit to and do things I did not like , BUT , I was obedient and now I am a better man for it today...
This is a life long process of continual self improvement , but you know the saying,
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step"..
You didnt know that saying? My bad , I assumed you did...I am somewhat embarrassed now.
But not enough to stop writing...
So if your down , The first layer that needs to be unwrapped is unforgiveness.
"Oh no he didn't!" ...Oh yeah , I did...And I'll do it again!
The first layer that needs to be unwrapped is unforgiveness.
Dont threaten me!
You cant run around and profess to be in the love of God or expect God to bless you when you have a heart full of unforgiveness...It just wont work.
I honestly have forgiven everyone that has ever wronged me, unless there is some hidden anger in me.
I feel clean about everyone and it feels good...
Dont tell me you CANT do it , You CAN..Question is , Do you want to?
Some of you are still walking around with huge boulders of unforgiveness on your shoulders...
Your upset because you got cheated on or lied to or someone said this about you or you got fired from your job or your still angry at your parents or other family members...
One thing I had to ask myself was..Is the person I am angry at , thinking about me in the same way?
Are they wasting time in their mind dwelling over what could have been done or should have been done or said?
99% of the time they are not...
WHY?
Because they offended YOU...Now they may be thinking about someone who offended THEM , But more than likely they are not thinking about you...
So wasting time dwelling on something that has happened in the past or even the recent past is not only unhealthy but a HUGE weapon the enemy uses against you to keep you in bondage.
TRUST ME , I was in bondage by the spirit of unforgiveness for many many years...
Watch this...
My first day of quitting smoking was tough , Honestly , I still want to light up from time to time..
But on that first day , I watched a documentary on Miles Davis that helped me.
Miles had a heroine addiction and he locked himself up at his parents house and kicked it cold turkey...
I thought , If Miles could do that , I can do this...and he inspired me.
So I pray I inspire you with what I am about to say...
For years and years I wanted to kill the Man who stabbed me.
I would lay in bed and dream of different ways to murder him...Revenge consumed me.
Then a year or so ago , I looked at the man who stabbed me from his perspective.
Someone I was in the same gang with had killed his brother in law and somehow my name got thrown in the mix...SO , This dude was under the impression that I had something to do with the murder.
ALTHOUGH I DID NOT...I WAS GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION.
So , He basically came in and sought revenge for the death of his family member...
He forever changed my life (And ruined my modeling career :)
I can Joke now , But for years and years this obviously was something that tormented me and due to the violent nature of the act it opened doorways for demons of all kinds...
Then I asked myself this , What if someone killed my brother in law?
Would I seek revenge? The answer at the time was YES...I would want to kill whoever took my family member from me and possibly whoever was involved...
When I put myself in the shoes of the man who murdered me ...I saw why he did it.
I am not saying I approve of it and I am not saying his action is a correct response...But I understood the motive..Even though it happened to me and I was completely innocent , I had matured to the point to see the motive of his actions...
And I forgave him...
I now pray for him...
Once I did this , I set myself free from THAT particular bondage and the devil no longer had control of my mind in that area.
The weight that had been on me for sooooo many years had been removed...
The Lord opened my eyes to a whole nother level of maturity and I am thankfull...
So I say this with all sincerity , PLEASE let that be an example to you and inspire you to forgive whoever has wronged you.
ESPECIALLY if it was just some words...DO NOT LET THE ENEMY SHACKLE YOU ANOTHER SECOND.
If the offense that was committed against you is less than Murder , Let it go now...
Call-email -text ," I forgive you"...Get it out , let it go and move on with your life.
This does not mean you have to rekindle a relationship , hang out with or even talk to that person again.
What it does do is gets that person out of your mind and you free up space for some positive thoughts.
When the enemy tries to bring up the situation again , IMMEDIATELY pray for whoever offended you.
"Lord , Thank you for being with..." And watch how fast the devil flees from you..
My friend Chris Wiggins told me , "It is impossible to hate someone your praying for" and he is exactly right...
Now if it is murder or molestation or abuse of any kind , I understand your pain...
some crimes that seriously anger me are RAPE , Molestation and Child Abuse.
I havent been through any of them but I have met people who have been and I see the mental damage it causes...It forever changes you...
Those offenses open doorways to demons of guilt and anger and confusion and fear and countless other spirits that attack your mind....
You have already been tormented enough!
When you forgive though , The shear magnitude of the act of forgiveness shakes the core of hell and sets you free in the process...
This enables the Lord to come in and Heal that hole in your soul...
Writing and speaking with people about your expierience also helps with the healing.
EVEN if it's just a personal journal , Once you get it on paper , it's out of you.
We all have people in our lives that have done us dirty in one way or another and we all have people in our lives that we have done dirty in one way or another...
So I ask you , Sometime this weekend , Make a list of everyone who has offended you...
Offer it to GOD , Pray over it and then Burn it...Get rid of it....Peel that layer off.
"But Scott ! You dont know what this person did to me! "
No I dont , But I do know this , If you commit a crime or revenge in the physical , You will eventually get caught and you can do no one any good in prison..And that cycle of violence starts again.
So now your mad behind bars with ALOT of people who are also mad..That is no way to live.
If you dont want to forgive because of stubborness or pride , then your wasting potential space for life changing ideas because your mind is filled with hostility....Your wasting precious life.
As soft as it may sound ...LOVE CONQUERS ALL.
It truly does...
Set yourself free...
I hope to speak to you Monday knowing that your soul is lighter.
God bless

VERBAL VITAMIN 5 ... ANY GIVEN SUNDAY
What I am about to type is some of my personal opinions and if you get offended , This shows me that my opinions have crossed the line into facts...
I Just got off the phone with someone very close to me , Someone I respect and Love...
Someone I know is a warrior for Christ...
They have been going through some health issues lately and we are all in agreement for healing.
But they told me something tonight that really angered me , which led to this writing...
They told me members of the church they attend have said they must be living in sin because they are still sick....REALLY?
Living in sin huh?
Creflo Dollar just got through preaching a sermon about not being offended because offense will lead you out of the circle of love...I agree with this...
But I also feel that being offended can sometimes drive you to the point where you do some soul cleansing...Get that closet full of emotions cleaned out..
So , I have been offended one too many times and this is the direct result of it.
This person I love is NOT living in sin and it sickens me that a group of people would even tell them that.
This is along the lines of my aunts church telling my VISITING mother that if she didnt speak in tongues she would go to hell...
Or the time I gave my testimony at a spanish speaking church...
I had a translator who spoke with me..After I was done , My spanish friend who was in the audience asked me if I understood what was said ...No , I replied...
The dude said.. that because my mother and I were strong adventist , God spared my life....
well......WE ARE NOT ADVENTIST.
Or when I requested to share my testimony on a certain high profile preachers talk show...I was denied but they asked me to become a paid partner....
Or when my local church wouldnt contribute money to help me print up copies of my testimony to give to Gang members cause it wasnt in the budget...Yet a few weeks later , They have brand new basketball goals.
Or Guidepost magazine rejecting my testimony because it was "Too harsh" for their publication.
Yes...The church has offended me in the past...and obviously , The present.
Here recently , I forgave all of my issues with the church and decided to return...3 times I tried to go back...The first time, I had a gall stone attack and went to the E.R. , 2nd time we didnt have the gas money , and on my third try , I found out a few days before that sunday, that the pastor of the church I was trying to go to , had took millions from his previous church...
This inspired the song VIOLENT FAITH.
But here is the genius of God..He knew that would infuriate me to the point , I would preach myself and step into the destiny I had been running from for so many years.
I told my wife , "If I cant trust anyone , I'll do it myself" and for the last few months , This is exactly what I have been doing...
I am not on a church bashing mission...Please do not take this the wrong way , Read this with maturity and read my words carefully.
NOT ALL CHURCHES - PASTORS - MEMBERS ARE CORRUPT.
That would be a sterotype...and I know all of the blacks who steal , the 8 mexicans in one car and the whites who are tongue kissing their dogs and calling blacks and mexicans pal ,know about sterotypes.
If you know your word , It says to try the spirits , So if your pastor is preaching honestly and with logic from the bible and your happy at your church , By all means , Praise God and stay where you feel led to stay.
If your genuinely happy serving the Lord in your church , Stay where your at...My purpose with this post is not to sway people from going to church...My purpose is to show people who seem to be confused that I don't attend church...why I dont attend church ...and for those who dont attend church , I want to show you that you can still have a realtionship with Christ where your at, until if and when he leads you to a trustworthy church.
I have church in my living room nightly..
I watch preaching nightly and have been reading daily...So I roughly get over ten hours a week of televised word , not to mention the studying I do on my own...
I have a continual debate with a friend of mine who just cant grasp why I dont go to a physical church.
If you look at the hours I put in , I already have more church at home in one week than most do in a month outside of their home.
and when and if the Lord directs me to a church , I will gladly go...
Or when he blesses me with the finances , I'll build my own.
For the time being though , I am learning everyday from the comfort of my own home.
I honestly feel , The word you get is more important than where you get it.
Would the Lord rather you participate in some fashion or none at all?
I feel the church as a whole needs a make over....
WHY do so many people refuse or hate to go to church?
There are many reasons...From fakeness , to being burnt in the past , to what they have seen or heard in the media , to false prophets who have stolen money from believers , to simply not believeing in God , to feeling unworthy , rejected , Scandals of molestation , and sometimes the demons within a person are so great , The very idea of stepping into a church makes their skin crawl....
However you look at it ,ALOT of People miss out on a relationship with Christ due to the church.
Why is a majority of the church so unhappy?
I have a few opinions...
Number one and most importantly to me is , Once people accept Christ , they start living for man.
Make sense?
Once people accept Christ , they start living for man.
The main commandments , the MAIN things...Have no other Gods before GOD and LOVE Your neighbor as yourself...The main thing is LOVE..LOVE...LOVE..Hey ! QUE? , you know what the main thing is? LOVE!
Someone gets born again , Accepts Christ and goes to church.
Now all of a sudden , they got 50 different people telling them what they cant do any longer because they now serve the Lord...
You cant dress like that ! You cant listen to That ! You cant go here! You cant talk like that !
You Cant sing like that! You cant worship like that! and countless other things you CANT do...
SO they get overwhelmed...and when they backslide , The enemy slides in..
When you accept the Lord , The things that arent healthy for you will work themselves out...
Your desire for what is out of the will of GOD will fade naturally...
GOD will handle you properly once you accept him , You will eventually live to your full potential.
When you accept him and learn to follow your spirit , You will be worked out.
NONE of us like to be told what to do and when you suddenly have people telling you what to do , the spirit of rebellion that is already embedded in us becomes amplified and the enemy moves in , hardens your heart and your gone...Let God handle people , All you need to do is PRAY for them and tell them something ONLY when the Lord directs you to speak...Anything other than that comes from your own pride or anger that their doing something you dont do any longer and still have a desire to do.
So what happens to alot of new Christians?
That person becomes what the pastor and the church want them to become and now you gotta buncha Robots who tell you how to live ...
Then that person becomes depressed and grows bitter and loses sight of what is important..LOVE and CHRIST.
Each of us on the face of this earth has a calling , a mission , a purpose , Your not just here to take up space...Alot of christians supress their true calling in life cause they are living for what the church wants and not what God wants...They live their life for the eyes of the church and not Christ...which like I said , leads to secret bitterness and having to hide what they still do in private and demonize themselves and when the truth surfaces...all hell breaks lose.
This is why the way I speak and write trips so many out , But GOD made me outspoken , it's embedded in me...If I live and speak the way certain people would like me to live and speak then you would be putting a harness on who I really am which would make me resent you...Trust me , God has taken ALOT of layers off of me in the last two years...I'll speak on that later.
Alot of people once they get in, leave it there once they get out in the parking lot.
No further reading or studying or conversating with God accept for the hour every sunday or two and we all know the people who only go during holidays....
I recently saw a documentary that suggested with church members is where Satan does some of his best work and if you look around...That appears to be true.
Some go for the Fashion show , To be seen , to show off that suit or dress.
Some go to pick up dates..
People go to church for many reasons and sadly not enough of those reasons are for a genuine love of God.
Alot of people do not go to church because of fear of rejection , They fear once their past is known the church will look down on them and alot of times , they will...
There are alot of people in church right now showing up with a mask on...like a Holy luchador.
Then they get in the parking lot , Light a square , go home and watch football , get drunk and eat hot wings....Why did you even go?
(Then they curse ROMO for choking and wish harm upon him :) Which leads them to greater sin...)
This is why I say It needs a make over , I somewhat understand How Jesus felt when he went in and started turning over tables...He was frustrated at what a place of worship had become.
This is why I am preaching a personal relationship with Christ so heavily....
If your not going to church for whatever reason, I am not here to judge you on that , I do not want you to miss out on becoming who you were born to be and having a deeper understanding of GOD because you have issues with the church...
DO NOT LET RELIGION KEEP YOU FROM BEING SPIRITUAL!
DO NOT LET RELIGION KEEP YOU FROM BEING SPIRITUAL!
DO NOT LET RELIGION KEEP YOU FROM BEING SPIRITUAL!
Come to the Lord as you are ...
Dont worry about your appearance , your past , that freakiness you did in college , that money you took from big mama , all them lies you told , those times you cheated , and whatever else the enemy throws at you to keep you from being your best...
Come as you are...Start by talking to Jesus....
The rest will work out.
I dont care if you cant see him...
I will again use this...YOU CANT SEE WIND BUT YOU CAN FEEL IT.
You cant see Aroma but you can smell it...
You have belief in what you cant see every day , The reason you believe is because one or more of your senses are touched...
The spirit of the Lord will touch your senses in the same way , If you allow it.
God is a gentlemen , He wont force himself on anyone...
If you dont want to go to church , God will bring church to you...Just invite him over.
Dont let CHURCH keep you from knowing GOD...
If you sincerely seek , You will sincerely get results....
You dont have to wait till sunday...
Whether your in church or not , The spirit is available 24/7...
Peace and Blessings

VERBAL VITAMIN 4 ... MEET YOUR ENEMY
1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
As I gave you the link to discover Jesus in a new light , I will also give you the link to discover your enemy in a new light...
I encourage you to also do your research.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_in_Christianity
There ya go...
As I was reading the different views and beliefs on Satan I realized that everyone has a different view of the "Devil"....
In the same way I tell you that God is all around us , Through LOVE and Nature and Kindness and the purity of children...Where you see LOVE , You see GOD.
The same can be said for the enemy , Where you see HATE and FEAR , You see the devil...
T.D. Jakes said we as humans are the physical manifestation of God's Righteousness...
So this leads me to believe that when we see Hate or extreme Ignorance from a human being , That would be the physical manifestation of the Devil's evil...
Make sense?
Look at Chi-Town right now and all of the murders that the youth are apart of...
THAT is the physical manifestation of Hate and Ignorance...
No matter your interpretation of Satan or what you think he looks like or whether or not he even exists , One FACT cannot be refuted.
We are in an everyday battle between good and evil that takes place within our minds...
ephesians 6 :12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
I will go into more detail about this in the coming days , I first wanted to introduce you to the players in the Power struggle that humanity is involved in.
Before I go I want to tell you of a dream I had a couple years ago.
I wont give you the full version , Just what matters...
I dreamed I had met this dude outside and we ended up in my lil studio because he needed to use my computer...The computer would not work and I was telling him something about the devil did not want me online...Then I typed in a web adress and I woke up...
As soon as I woke up , I rushed back to my computer , turned it on and typed in the adress I had seen in my dream...
Believe it or not , The link was an actual site.
The first words I saw..SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND.
Yes ,I am saying that... GOD gave me a website in a dream.
SO , I have been led to share that website with all of you , to assist you in your own studies.
here it is...
http://www.biblelookup.com/
The Lord works in mysterious ways...
This is one thing you will find out if you truly start walking with Christ...
EVERYDAY IS AN ADVENTURE.
You ever done a crossword puzzle and when you finally get that word thats been bugging you , You kick yourself?
Why? Because it was in front of you all along and you just could'nt see it....
Peace and God Bless

No matter your interpretation of Satan or what you think he looks like or whether or not he even exists , One FACT cannot be refuted.
We are in an everyday battle between good and evil that takes place within our minds...
ephesians 6 :12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
I will go into more detail about this in the coming days , I first wanted to introduce you to the players in the Power struggle that humanity is involved in.
Before I go I want to tell you of a dream I had a couple years ago.
I wont give you the full version , Just what matters...
I dreamed I had met this dude outside and we ended up in my lil studio because he needed to use my computer...The computer would not work and I was telling him something about the devil did not want me online...Then I typed in a web adress and I woke up...
As soon as I woke up , I rushed back to my computer , turned it on and typed in the adress I had seen in my dream...
Believe it or not , The link was an actual site.
The first words I saw..SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND.
Yes ,I am saying that... GOD gave me a website in a dream.
SO , I have been led to share that website with all of you , to assist you in your own studies.
here it is...
http://www.biblelookup.com/
The Lord works in mysterious ways...
This is one thing you will find out if you truly start walking with Christ...
EVERYDAY IS AN ADVENTURE.
You ever done a crossword puzzle and when you finally get that word thats been bugging you , You kick yourself?
Why? Because it was in front of you all along and you just could'nt see it....
Peace and God Bless

VERBAL VITAMIN 3 ... HEY G ! You More G than Jesus?
"The gospels demonstrate that Jesus, a charismatic leader regarded as a potential troublemaker, was executed on political charges."
Where the militants at? Raise a fist and show respect...
It would be irresponsible and ignorant of myself to ask you to just trust me that Jesus Christ is our Lord...
Irresponsible , due to the fact that I come here telling you that I will tell you the truth and do not give you proper information to make a decision for yourself...
That might be mistaken as me trying to take advantage of the people...I am not here to take advantage of anyone , Rather I am here to get you to realize YOU have advantages and untapped power through Jesus Christ.
AND it would be ignorant of me to assume anyone would blindly follow what I am telling you.
I will also never ask you to do anything I havent done or am willing to do myself....
So , with that being said , I would like YOU to read what I just read...
This is the diary of Jesus Christ..You think you know...But you have no idea.
For those of you in the south....You think you know...But you have no idea Patna...
For those of you in the east...You think you know...But you have no idea son...
I dont know if this link will be converted or not , SO if it's not , Please copy and paste it into your favorite browser...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_christ
Up above is an unbiased report on Jesus Christ...
I say unbiased because if I was trying to steer you in a certain direction , I could have easily pasted the parts I want you to know.
But no sir/mam...We seek truth , DO we not?
So follow the link and read the history , the contrasting views , the different religious views , The truth...
Get to know the man from a perspective you may have not previously known him by...
Then start talking to him...Building that PERSONAL relationship.
Like I said , I could copy and paste and quote and give YOU what I want YOU to read..
But all your doing then is absorbing what I feel is best for you....
There is aJapanese proverb that reads..
"Tell me - I will forget - Show me-I may remember-BUT INVOLVE ME and I WILL UNDERSTAND"
Do your research...Dont tell me you don't have time...In between Youtube videos and updating your status and taking quizzes...Get Involved.
Always do your research , Make sure what people are telling you is legit.
But ya'll already knew that right :)
Something came to me while I was reading on Christ....
If you believe all of this is made up , I have to challenge you from another angle now...I gotta new trail while reading...
Do you have any idea how genius you would have to be to make up the entire bible?
Things written over 2000 years ago still have relevance to our lives today...
Timeless knowledge is contained in these 66 books...
I know the Bible has been translated to this and that and easy to read and they even had a "Ghetto" version out at one point...
The wording may have gotten more eloquent or easier to read over the years but the core of it remains the same...
DOTH THOU FOLLOW ME?
10 years ago many of us thought the world was ending when the clock struck midnight in America.
So.....DO I even need to finish that?
How can something hold up and still be relevant that was written THAT many years ago?
The poetry-The life lessons-The knowledge and Wisdom concerning every issue that we face as a human race is included in this book....Consider the level of Psychology the authors would have to have... were supposed to be so "Evolved" yet we cant replicate something this timeless today...
All I am saying is , If it's fake , The dudes who wrote it originally were super genius and had vision none of us have seen....
Lastly ...
I wanna speak on emulation.
Alot of youth love to act like their favorite emcee or some prefer to be their favorite angry/depressed rocker .... You love rebellion ...
SOOOOOOO Many on the streets have the mentallity that if someone has been to prison or is in a gang or is extremely violent that they are idols...WHY?
What kills me is rappers make music describing a lifestyle they USED to live ( SOME OF THEM) to people living that lifestyle currently ...BUT , The rappers who claim to be so street , now have bodyguards and buisness to run...They are making huge profits and living a lifestyle that you more than likely wont...
You think they are going to risk their investments and actually do what they say?
and sometimes these dudes actually DO what they say and throw everything they have been blessed with away....When keeping it real goes wrong...
So these cats provide a soundtrack of violence and hate and ignorance and preach materilism and brag nonstop about how they will kill you -your crew and then bang your boo and then ..hop back in that black benz.. on 22's...and drop 100 thou on a peice of jewlery...etc...Need more info ? Turn on your radio.
While the listener is actually LIVING it...Their friends are actually dying , they are actually feeling the pain of this 'Scarface' Mentallity....They are dropping out of school and enrolling into the penal systems...While the rapper gets rich preaching a false and ignorant doctrine...They are false idols , Modern day golden cows.
Point is , their is a mentallity that intelligence is weak and that love is soft.
And when someone mentions JESUS to you , Your mental image is automatically that of the hollywood Jesus and the times you went to church and was bored out of your mind and anything else that is weak , You associate with christians or Love....
This is why I encourage you to read the history up above and I challenge you to show me where he was weak...
This man was EXECUTED for going against the Grain and challenging the very establshment.
READ and SEE from a different view...Forget what you have seen with the light skin and blue eyes...Research the history and get to know the man who was the definition of hardcore...YET , never through a fist.
Time to wake up ya'll.....
I've been stabbed and shot at and served 10 years probation and the majority of my friends have seen prison time...Is that enough "Street Cred" for you?
WE MUST CHANGE OUR MENTAL...
What is happening now is NOT working....
Please do your research so we can continue to progress in some way each day...
God bless
Peace

VERBAL VITAMIN 2 ... TAKE IT PERSONAL
I have a homeboy named A.P. from the group Melody Memory...I have worked with him on several tracks now and he has been instrumental in taking me to another level vocally...
Needless to say , I respect the man for his talent and his wisdom.
He was at my house one day recording some vocals and during a break in the action , we stepped outside to smoke (When I was still on that pack a day) and he said something that was profound to me..
We were discussing whether people got our messages or not and he said "Spoonfeed the baby or kill it with meat"...
Yeah...I dig that , That is heavy, That is serious to me...
This is why I love knowledge because it carves out a trail in my mind and takes me down a whole other path...This way , I am not riding the same trail mentally everyday...
Member when you were younger and had a bike and you had a certain trail you would follow or you had a place where you could jump your bike ?....A place with a lovely name like... "Suicide hill"...
Point is , You had trails and eventually you knew those trails so well they became boring from traveling them so often....
Same with your mind , You get caught up riding that same trail daily...
But when you seek wisdom or if pearls of wisdom get handed to you through conversation or reading...A new trail is made...If You go down this trail , it will lead you to other trails and other trails equal a change of scenery and a change of scenery equals excitement and before you know it, you got something to smile about again ...Amen?
So with that being said...I gotta see if your hungry... and secondly ... if you can handle solid food.
I have no cares whether I offend Church folk or not...This isnt for you , unless you want it.
Jesus Christ himself offended Church Folk ...I am speaking spirit , not religion.
I am here to speak to the Loners , the confused , the abandoned , the depressed , the heart broken...
I wanna talk to those who want something more out of their lives...
Those who are tired of the same trails...
If you are SERIOUS about taking your LIFE to another level...
If this is you , then you will continue to read , If it's not...Thanks for stopping by.
God bless you either way...
If your still with me...Let us progress
Orite...How many of ya'll believe in God?
How many talk to him on a daily basis and study his word?
How many hear his word through a church or TV or the web?
How much time do you spend with the one you believe in?
See ALOT of people will say they believe in GOD and even attend CHURCH but they don't no more know GOD than they know their neighbors...
What I am here to do is to get YOU to get personal with Christ.
I dont care how you look , what you listen to , whether or not you wear skinny jeans or dickies...
I dont care where your from , what color your skin is or whether you got boy or girl parts...
I dont care how hardcore you are or think you are or even what gang you claim....
At this particular time , what I care about is making sure YOU have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ...Once that is accomplished , Everything else will start to fall into place in your life...
I am not here to feed your ego or to tippy toe around you and make sure I dont offend you...
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE HONEST AND NOT OFFEND SOMEONE...
I speak with a sense of urgency because we are all in a spiritual war for our minds and the scary thing is IS a large majority do not know they are in a battle...SO , I am here to equip you with knowledge to fight the enemy...
SO if you believe in GOD already , That's great , Lets step up our faith to another level and go to places we have yet to go...
If your interested , I encourage you to accept Christ and get to gettin with the rest of us...
If you flat out dont believe in GOD or you think I am full of feces...
Let me ask you this... WHO IS TELLING YOU THIS?
What have I said that is not positive or logical?
We all have 3 voices in our minds...GOOD-BAD-YOU
YOU must decide continuously between GOOD and BAD...
So even if you dont believe in GOD how could you argue against the Logic that we all as a human race have these same tendencies of deciding between right or wrong voices(Thoughts)? I am just telling you who Right and Wrong are...
SO again I ask You...WHO would benifit most by telling you GOD does not exist?
Yeah , Plant some flowers on that new path...
So how do you talk to GOD?
Simple...Just do it.
When and where? anytime and anyplace.
You dont need to light a candle or put on a certain robe or do any ritual to speak with the Lord...
You DO NOT need to pay a fee to talk to GOD...
You simply , TALK TO HIM.
Good morning Lord! What are we doing today? , Where are you taking me? , What does this mean? , Explain That to me? I need help here... Please be with so and so...Why am I going through this now?
Your word promised me this! I need healing for this !
and then you Thank him continuosly...Not just before you go to bed or you eat...
I'm talking...Thank you for the safe trip home , Thank you for being with so and so , Thank you I'm alive , Thank you for my kids , Thank you I dont have kids :) Thank you for a new job , thank you for this and that and everything else I dont know your apart of..Thank you for the treasures unseen..
wow
Sounds like all we do is ask and he gives and we Thank him...
This is why You give back...
Good morning Lord! Who am I talking to today? , Who needs prayer? , who needs a blessing? , who needs a word ?, who needs a friend right now? , What do you want me to do? WHat do you want to show me today? I'M HUNGRY!!!! To Bless and Be Blessed!!!!
THAT IS WALKING WITH GOD!!!! AMEN!
This is how you build a PERSONAL relationship with Christ.
This is how you start to KNOW GOD IS REAL ...
Because HE WILL talk back...
God talks to us all daily but we do not have our eyes and ears open to him...We do not recognize when God is in the situation..
He speaks to us through our Concious , Nature , friends and enemies...Songs , words , images...and even vocally from time to time ...He is everywhere for all of us at the same exact time...That Sound Crazy to you?
People dont mind worshipping Vampires these days , but the dude talm bout Jesus is crazy...Orite...
If you dont talk to God this way , If you dont get PERSONAL with him...None of this will make sense to you and even if you are a regular church goer and you do not talk with God like this , Your not getting/giving everything you can...
I first started noticing my contiual speech with GOD was legitamate rather recently...
I started noticing things that I had thought of and written down and told others about would be discussed by preachers-teachers-Psycholgist....
Point is , I hadnt watched any televised preaching in 10 years and I havent been to church in a great number of years...Yet I had the same knowledge and thoughts as the people who had been to college and had degrees in their respective fields....
I have acheived this by speaking with God daily and involving him in all areas of my life...
I found out that "IF YOU SEEK YOU WILL FIND" Is a true statement....
I challenge God , I expect from God , I believe on God and he has shown himself true to me to the point I would get on a message board and risk "My REP"...Take my cool off in front of folks....
I have been through HELL the last year...Hell...Hell my whole life...
and I know alot of you reading this have been through Hell...
So the knowledge I will give you is the direct result of some serious soul searching and convos with the Man upstairs...
It wont be pretty , I have often found you get worse before you get better...
I'm gonna say somethings you wont like , some things that make the evil within very nervous....
Were gonna travel to some dark places , But if you journey with me , I promise you , Your life will be changed ...It's gonna take sacrifice and some honest looks in the mirror...So if your honestly ready for this...In the coming days , were gonna start the journey.
If your not , That's cool ...Keep running ...You will eventually get tired...I'm just trying to save you a trip.
Orite , I just wanted to set things up and let you know what I was about and where I'm gonna take you if you keep reading these messages...
The weak and the strong and the hungry and satisfied get seperated with this...
From here on out , I will write like you can eat some steak...
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ , Very simple...
ROMANS 10: 9-13
Talk with him...DONT BE SCURRED!
In the meantime , I challenge you to read at the very minimum..1 proverb a night.

VERBAL VITAMIN 1 ... WE NEED TO TALK
Well Orite chall , This is my first public sermon...WELCOME...Let me make my way to the front...Say hello , right quick...
Hey ,how you doin?... Great to see you to!...Aww dude , Those Nikes are nice man...You look great in that black dress Mrs.Johnson...Awww you know it...Second door on the left..Seriously lol...Oh yeah? I don't know , I'm busy on tuesdays at 3...Ok , I'll holla when I'm done , The people are waiting...
7
6
5
4
3
2
1
And we begin...
This is for somebody out there reading this , Because I wanted to do a whole 'Take em from the beginning' type sermon but God kept putting this scripture on my heart , So this is what I am rolling with...
MATTHEW 18:15
"If your brother sins against you , go and rebuke him in private. If he listens to you , you have won a brother"
Notice that 'GO AND REBUKE HIM IN PRIVATE'...
This isnt done anymore...The old "Lets have a man to man" or "Lady to Lady" Or "Man to Lady" "Or Lady to best friend trying to steal her man" Or "Man to homeboy who stole your Lil Jon Cd 3 years ago"
These days an audience must be involved...
Everyone on your favorite "Social Networking sites" knows you got beef...Your texting everyone...Your sending emails...Your getting drunk and talking about the situation with others who are getting drunk and then they tell there friends when they get drunk and so on and so on and so on....
And what happens here?
It escalates into something more than it needs to be...and alot of times friendships are ruined because we didnt have the courage to confront that person one on one...Naw , We needed some back up first right? We need to make sure our side of the story is not only told but told FIRST...We start the division amongst our own..Then before you know it , things cant be the same again...
Does this sound like some girl drama? Yes it does...
But dudes do it to...
The men just use harsher language....
You ever been in a situation where you sat and watched somebody do or say something wrong and instead of speaking to them about it , your making a list of people TO TELL ABOUT IT?
Yeah , You have done that...
"Maria is gonna trip out when she hears this!"
"Wow , Abdul wont believe what this cat said about him"
( Just to let ya'll know , I use all races in my name examples..Abdul digs it...why dont you?)
This is exactly what happened with Pac and BIG....
Instead of talking man to man...The audience grew and the media got involved and we lose two great emcees/ Human beings...over something that should have been handled in private...DEAD...Never again will they communicate because they did not communicate.
When you call someone out in Public , That opens the door for the demon of pride and once pride gets in...The party starts...BECAUSE , PRIDE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE BESTED...Especially by someone you know.
This happens everyday...Right now as I type this , someone is spilling buisness and spreading a fire of words...
I used to do this years ago...Just talkin about folk...I knew they were talking about me...SO I talked about them...
Then the Lord started dealing with me...I guess a spotlight was shown on me and exposed me for doing this...Made me feel like a punk to be honest with you.
So I made it a point , a concious effort , a Need ...to tell YOU if I got an issue with you and I expect YOU to tell me if you have an issue with me....
Not out in public , not on the boards , not on youtube , not with spray paint on my car door , not on bathroom stalls.....
Call whoever you have an issue with to the side..."We Need to talk"
And discuss your problem with the one causing you a problem...not everyone else.
If you do this,I guaruntee you , you will have less drama in your life and you might save a friendship.
and Trust me , The older you get , The LESS friends you got...Some of ya'll know what I'm talking about...
This also should pertain to POSITIVE things you wish to tell people but for whatever reason , you do not.
Follow your spirit when you get that feeling to compliment somebody or give them a word of encouragement.
You never REALLY understand what people are going through and those few words you say could change their entire outlook on life...
You never know when your preventing a suicide...
Speak it when you feel it to the person it pertains to...
Positive or Negative...
This concludes my first message..My first Verbal Vitamin

And we begin...
This is for somebody out there reading this , Because I wanted to do a whole 'Take em from the beginning' type sermon but God kept putting this scripture on my heart , So this is what I am rolling with...
MATTHEW 18:15
"If your brother sins against you , go and rebuke him in private. If he listens to you , you have won a brother"
Notice that 'GO AND REBUKE HIM IN PRIVATE'...
This isnt done anymore...The old "Lets have a man to man" or "Lady to Lady" Or "Man to Lady" "Or Lady to best friend trying to steal her man" Or "Man to homeboy who stole your Lil Jon Cd 3 years ago"
These days an audience must be involved...
Everyone on your favorite "Social Networking sites" knows you got beef...Your texting everyone...Your sending emails...Your getting drunk and talking about the situation with others who are getting drunk and then they tell there friends when they get drunk and so on and so on and so on....
And what happens here?
